Secure, grow and manage your client's cash - quickly and simply
Your client opens their single Flagstone account, supported by our expert and trusted client service team. No need to complete paperwork for multiple banks.
Client transfers funds from their bank to their Flagstone account (minimum £50K deposit required for individuals, £250k for organisations).
Our platform provides access to hundreds of accounts from up to 60+ banks – enabling clients to maximise interest and FSCS protection, if eligible.
Your client can meet changing needs, plans and aspirations with complete visibility of their entire portfolio and access to their money.
All UK-based banks and building societies on our platform are members of the Financial Service Compensation Scheme. Your clients' eligible deposits are protected up to £85K for each individual bank account opened or £170K for each joint account.
FSCS protection eligibility
All UK based banks and building societies on our platform are members of the Financial Service Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
In the event that one of the UK based banks and building societies on the platform were to go into administration then our client (if eligible) would have a single claim under the FSCS limited to the deposit compensation limit of £85,000 per depositor (£170,000 for joint accounts) per UK bank.
The FSCS protects certain qualifying temporary high balances up to £1 million for six months from when the amount was first deposited.
You do not need to do anything – the FSCS will compensate you automatically.
For more information, please refer to the FSCS website.
Once your client's deposits mature, funds are returned to their holding account and can then be withdrawn to their own bank account at any time.
Simple cash management
Immediate visibility of your clients' money, plus simple, flexible and fast
account management.
Opening your account
The Flagstone platform is available to individual and
joint applicants (aged 18 or older) looking to deposit
£50K or more. And to companies, charities and trusts
(including SIPPs and SSASs) with £250k or more to
deposit.
- Basic personal details including employment
status and address history. - Tax status including National Insurance number
or your Tax Identification number (TIN) where
relevant. - Information about the source of funds you wish
to deposit. - Details of a UK mainland bank account
('nominated account') you wish to deposit from
and have funds returned to. - For joint applications, you must have the
permission of the second applicant to provide
us with their information - You may be required to provide copies of proof
of ID, proof of address, or proof of source of
funds after submitting your application.
Transferring funds
Once they are set up they transfer funds to their
Flagstone holding account.
Your client's holding account is set up to receive and
hold their funds before they are transferred to deposit
accounts. Their holding account acts as the account
to which all monies (principal and interest) are
returned at the maturity of a fixed term deposit
account, or when an instant access account or notice
account is closed. Once the matured funds are
deposited in your client's holding account, they may
then withdraw them to their nominated account, or
place them in another deposit account of their
choosing.
The holding account will be provided by HSBC.
Multiple accounts
After your client funds their Flagstone holding account, they can browse, open and manage as many savings accounts as they need, including instant access, notice and fixed-term.
Complete control
Your client is in control. They can manage their money - quickly and easily - via our highly secure Flagstone platform. They can place, spread and move their deposits - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - with no additional applications to complete.
Peace of mind

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Using our platform is simple. The client:
- Applies for one Flagstone account.
- Moves funds from their bank to their Flagstone account.
- Browses and chooses from hundreds of accounts –
including exclusive and market-leading rates – on our online
platform. - Enjoys complete protection for their money – up to FSCS
limits.
As the UK's leading cash deposit platform, the volume of deposits
placed with us, and the relationships developed with our partner
banks gives us access to exclusive and market-leading deposit
rates for our clients.
All UK-based banks and building societies on our platform are members of the Financial Service Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
This allows your clients to protect their savings by spreading their
cash across several banks or building societies, and receive the
FSCS protection of £85K each time (£170K for joint accounts).
All accounts on the Flagstone Platform are “segregated client trust
accounts”. Our clients are individual beneficiaries of this trust for
the amount of money they deposit (plus interest). They are
absolutely entitled to this money. As an individual beneficiary, a
client’s money is eligible for FSCS protection, provided that the
client is eligible. In the unlikely event that there is an issue with
one of our partner banks, Flagstone would carry out the FSCS
claim on behalf of its clients.
Our platform provides immediate visibility of all your clients'
money, including consolidated information across all of their cash
deposit accounts, and a single tax certificate at the end of the year.
For each savings account you open through Flagstone, we receive a small share of the interest. We deduct that share before we feature any savings account on our platform – so the rate you see will be the rate you receive.
We also receive interest from cash in the holding account
